[ Clay arrives before her taxi, his driver- who was not chastened despite his annoyance with Cadence earlier- dutifully off to wait for his employer to summon him back. No earlier than 10pm per his instruction. Even if Miss Laine decided to be a shrew, he was determined to have a good time. It came from his pocket enough to be here that he would enjoy himself even if it meant swallowing his spite.
However, there was no need for it when he sees her dressed in black, golden hair perfectly draped over her shoulder. It’s a good thing her profile is facing away from him because he’s noticeably captured by the sight of her. Being used to her business attire of suits and skirts, the curve of her calves highlighted by strappy heels and the collarbone visible beneath a beautiful necklace holds his eyes.
Recovering, he gives her time to check the peacoat draped over her forearm before he more or less beelines towards the beauty he’s chasing. The realization he’s mentally acknowledged a chase makes him curse his arrogance and idiocy once more. Clay clears his throat and catches her eye before he walks closer. His head leans over the hand he places on her bicep, to be heard in a loud whisper over the din of the crowds. ]

You look incredible. As always.
